Heather and I shared a studio many years ago and, at times, found our work traveling in the same direction. We have maintained friendship and interest in each others work over time and distance. These images have connected and it is a joy to bring it together.
Curious about monotypes? I’ll be teaching the following workshop and classes over the next few months.
CONCORD ART ASSOCIATION
MONOTYPE: The Painted Print from an Etching Press
Whether you are an experienced artist looking for new ideas, or someone who has never put paint on paper, this technique has endless possibilities and very exciting results.
In this class, oil printmaking ink will be used to paint, draw into, roll, wipe away or dab onto a plexiglas plate. The image will go through a press onto printmaking paper creating unexpected and surprising results. An etching press will be used to transfer your image to the paper. Participants will learn how to modify the inks and explore brush and roller techniques. If you already know the basics, you can move forward at your own pace. Individual guidance will be provided.
4 week class, Tuesday, Nov. 12-3, from 10 am – 2 pm
The exhibit will run from October 18 until December 14 in the Conant Gallery of the Richardson-Mees Performing Arts Center, Lawrence Academy, Groton, MA
Encostic paintings by Sharon Wooding and oil paintings by Jill Pottle are also on exhibit
The gallery is open 8am until 5 pm Monday through Friday
Powers Gallery in Acton, MA (see the link under Galleries) will have an exhibit “New Works On Paper” for the month of Sept. The opening reception is Sat. Sept. 8 from 4pm-7pm. Some of these Red-wing Blackbirds as well as other work will be on exhibit.
Using Charbonnel inks, a plexiglas plate, soft rollers, Q-tips, and a glass palette the image is created. The plexi plate is moved to an etching press and topped with a piece of Rives BFK paper. After a trip through the press the image is transferred to the paper.
